The core product is an articulated collection of bracelets produced in different widths, easily adjustable to any desired length by a distinctive knotting system. The bracelets are beaded with class A quality glass beads or woven on ancient looms (Egyptian looms) with a variety of vibrant colors and materials, such as silver, brass or recycled rubber and tin. The center silver symbol, such as peace, friendship, love, circle of energy, is either hand hammered and crafted or individually created with a technique called filigree, a craftsmanship which consists of shaping an exceptionally thin silver thread into a symbol.
